Anyone growing herbs this season?

What type of fruit?

I am growing strawberries, kiwi and cataloupe. No, nothing yet. In fact, I don't expect to see anything this year at all. I will keep you posted of my progress...

Yeah, strawberries take awhile to establish. We lost half of our patch last year because we couldn't water during part of the hottest time of the season. :(

Thanks! I can't wait to do this. I'm excited to see what fresh dried herbs taste like.

You are welcome. I find them better than the commerically produced stuff.

I tend to harvest my herbs in small batches (or at least, I try to--the last harvest is always larger than normal). Unless you have screens to dry stuff on, you want to keep flipping the batches a couple of times a day until they are completely dry (otherwise herbs can go moldy). And when you put them in jars, watch to see if you end up with condensation in the jar; if you do, you need to dry the herbs some more.

Thanks, I will need luck with the dill I decided to plant. Maybe year three is the charm.

Our soil isn't real good either, but we had a few strawberries last year even though we only planted them last year so hopefully we will at least get a few. I don't expect to get a lot yet, but hopefully at least enough to snitch a handful or so out of the garden.

Our raspberry patch is getting larger. Not much fruit, but it keeps the neighbor's dog from digging under that part of the fence. I find that strawberries don't get going until year three, but that may just be my yard--I don't have decent soil here at all.

I thought that I was going to have a few this year, but this last hail pounded them to nothing. *sigh*

You might want to consider some window boxes. That is what I was growing herbs in until I moved into a house. In fact, considering how my mints have spread out, perhaps I should of kept them in pots. Mints, mints everywhere. But in their defense, it does keep the weeds in control.
